For our second-straight Harlem DDJ, we head west, and this one comes at an interesting time for the neighborhood, with anti-gentrification rhetoric heating up. The marketing materials refer to Dafina as "something of value," and value is exactly what this boutique co-op is shooting for. Prices average out near $600/sqft, and the most expensive unit?which doesn't even crack $1 million has three bedrooms and a 338-square-foot terrace. Dafina is aimed at first-time buyers looking to trade up from the rental lifestyle, and it's certainly Luxury 101: sleek kitchens, Carrera marble baths, Brazilian cherry wood flooring, concierge, refrigerated lobby storage, roof deck, tenants' lounge, gym, etc. There's also a parking garage available, because given current neighborhood attitudes, you might not want to leave your Vespa on the street. The on-site sales center is open, and occupancy is expected in December 2008.
